ABSTRACT:
A driver circuit for the solenoid actuator coils of a direct pressure electronic transmission control. The circuit is remotely configurable for satisfying the requirements of both shifting and nonshifting modes of operation. In shifting modes of operation, a common snubber element is activated to permit fast commutation of the coil current while protecting the switching devices. In nonshifting modes of operation, dedicated free-wheeling diodes are activated to circulate the coil energy at turn-off of the switching devices to facilitate reduction energy consumption and heating.
